imop,

vulching a landing plane,doesn't matter if is P40 or 262, that is not a threat anymore, is the cheapest act in MA , shows a weak,coward, honourless personality

Kuhn, I would not have vulched u on landing, epically in a 262. I guess I think AH is a friendly game more than a war. Kind of like when we were kids and played football in the street. I think its more fun to be friendly and considerate (even to the enemy). I guess I was taught when I was little, "Its not if u win or lose, its how u play the game". I have become quite fond of some of you all reading the BB and have learned a lot from u all as well. I ain't going to vulch anybody. I say go ahead and land your kills and your 262. Makes me happy to see u do so.

So what would you call the time you killed me 3/4 of the way back to my base in an F4F-4 with no ammo, no rudder and one aileron missing? By your definition I was not a threat except for the 7 Bish scalps I was taking home to land.

You were returning to base, not landing,
3/4 way to you base? what's the way? 1 sector ? , doesn't mean you were on final slow,aproching the runway to land, honestly i would have not engage ,

hmmmmm KUHN........... how do u pronounce that?

First of all Kuhn, you can't limit folks. You post on the forums you'll get responses. If you only want 1 type of response -- well then maybe posting on an open forum isn't the right way to go.

Secondly, You need to check your gas before you enter any fight. If you don't have enough, bug out. If you say you've got enough then dedicate all of it to the current fight. Later fights don't matter. Getting home isn't an issue (you can throttle WAY back to cruise home if you need to). Burn up every last gallon to finish the fight. Because if you can't get away, you'd better kill the SOB as fast as you can.

Also when in a 262 don't land at a front line base unless you're desperate. Go 1-2 sectors in and land there. Otherwise you're asking to get vulched.

So is it distance or threat? What makes it OK or not OK?

The reason the guy followed him home to vulch him is the same reason you passed other countrymen of mine to kill me, that guy KNEW who it was and didnt want him to land. I dont blame you, I would have done exactly the same thing you did, I think its a little hypocritical to say what you did is different, it wasnt.

3/4 of the way to base, throttled back to save gas, slowly loosing altitude, no ammo.....could be concidered a long final.

Same effect. Killing an aircraft that can't fight back. Only difference is weather he had the ack to cover him.

Not too sure I'd equate that to real ife cowardice. Way too many variables can come in to play from sortie to sortie to try and define certain actions as something, and only that certain something. At the end of the day does it really matter?

wow gee.... guess I am the only one that every did a flyby on someone landing, only to have them vere off and shoot me then land with an extra kill.
